Impact and significance
The event marks the completion of the renovation and the opening of the facility to the public. The program must also include speeches and a short story about the bath's present and history. Local rockabilly band Okawango Outlaws play from the stage. The municipality's news does not indicate the cost of the renovation, technical changes or regular opening hours after the opening day, so this information needs to be searched on the bath's own pages.
Background
Peab is mentioned through the people participating in the competitions, which shows the company's connection to the project, but the source does not describe the scope of the contract. Free bathing applies in connection with the opening according to the published program information. WUA does not interpret it as a permanent price announcement. Food and drinks offered by the municipality are listed as sausages and feasts, without information on quantity or any special dietary options.
